Hi all,

I went in for my second fill yesterday. My first one was fine, I didnt feel that much restriction at all. This one, I feel so much restriction. While I was in the office, he had me drink Water after the fill and it went down fine. Well, yesterday I could barely even get water down. By the end of the day I was able to get a tiny bit of Soup down and some water. Even when I am drinking something, it tries to come back up and there is a little bit of slime with the soup. I also feel incredibly full after a few bites of soup. We are now on day #3 after the fill and it hasnt gotten much better. I can get a little more water down without it coming back up. Im supposed to start mushies today but there is no way I will even try because even with water, I get a little reflux and feel so full. Is this normal due to swelling? What is everyones experience with their fills? does the band loosen a bit from the swelling a bit after the fill? Should I call my dr to get it unfilled a little more or should I wait it out. Im not in extreme pain right now, its just I feel a little weak from no food and not a lot of water. Oh, also once I take a few sips of soup I get so full to the point that I start to hiccup. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

how do you know when its initial swelling or an overfill? what time frame do you start to get "concerned"?

I have had the band for 5 years but hardly ever get a fill so EACH time is like a whole new experience!!

Im going through the same thing. My second fill was yesterday - 1cc , 4 total, and do I feel the difference. Everything is coming up. Thanks, this board works!
